All Safe Technologies Opts for Hattiesburg (Miss.) to Open 3rd Branch

HATTIESBURG, Miss. — All Safe Technologies, based in Gulf Breeze, Fla., with a branch in Gulfport, Miss., has opened its third location here in Mississippi’s southern region.

“It is a natural progression for our company. We are in a growth mode and we have a lot of business in this area so it was a perfect fit as we move northward in our expansion,” says Alain Jamet, vice president of All Safe.

All Safe was founded in 2000 by Don Williams (former owner of Phillips Doby Security, which he sold to Interface Security) and David Avritt, founder and former CEO of SentryNet. Avritt was never active at All Safe, but devoted his energies into growing the wholesale monitoring business for SentryNet. Avritt originally started in the security business by founding Infipro in 1976 in Greenville, Miss., and later Memphis, Tenn. Avritt sold Infipro to Interface Security in 2000.

Fast forward to 2015, Avritt sold SentryNet — one of the larger wholesale monitoring companies in the United States — to Stanley Black & Decker, with central stations in Memphis and Pensacola, Fla. After divesting interests in SentryNet and taking a couple of years off, in 2019 Avritt bought out Williams interests, who was looking forward to retirement. Jamet and Irene Horton moved with Avritt over to All Safe from SentryNet and represent part of the core management team.

When asked what his plans are for All Safe, Avritt comments, “To grow and build a company. This is what I’ve done for 45 years.”

He continues, commenting the industry has changed, but in many ways it has stayed the same. As long as customers are provided exceptional customer service and the security provider remains progressive and keeps up with technology, the security industry is a very viable business, he says.

“I plan on doing that and also have a little fun along the way. Our goal is to grow organically with a few strategic acquisitions. I think you will see some pretty decent growth from us over the next five to eight years,” Avritt says.

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
